I had a conversation yesterday and learned about the judus Goat. The goat is works at the abatours and leads the cattle in to the room, the other cattle see how calm the goat is and this then calms the other cattle, so they follow the goat unbeknown the goat is leading them in to their deaths, I said " why does'nt the goat warned them?" and was informed hence the term judus goat !!!!!! |

It is important that animals are as calm as possible when slaughtered otherwise stressed meat tastes awful and does not sell. You can tell by colour and texture. |

Have just seen a French chef on Breakfast TV saying that the French mainly feel the same way as us in UK,and that it has to be bought in a special butchers and no way would you buy it in a Supermarket. |

Dont get me wrong I totally understand about such places and can understand why such things as done, also I have never thought twice about any meat I eat....was just the way this film was shown and it wasnt like normal abatours......to be honest I dont even know where it was I was beyond listening and eventually turned it off........ |

Although being a vegi myself, I have no objection to people eating meat. I do however, have an objection to treating animals like this |

I've seen plenty of horsemeat for sale in French supermarkets, particularly the Northern one, and plenty of French people buying it.. |

When I was a boy in the 50s I was often sent by my mother to buy meat, usually lamb chops, at the local Butchers Market. I remember it as a foul smelly place. |
